Car, who is also the state’s education minister, stepped back from the job in June last year to undergo treatment for breast cancer, three years after battling kidney cancer.

”I am so excited to jump on here and let you all know that I am back, returning to work tomorrow to kick off the new school year,” Car said in a video shared on Facebook.

“Thank you so much to everyone who has just supported me through what has just been a really difficult seven or eight months through my breast cancer journey.”

Car thanked her medical team and staff at the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse cancer centre in Sydney.

She added that her husband Brad, her son, colleagues and the local community had been an enormous support during her treatment.

The Londonderry MP commended NSW Premier Chris Minns for standing by her during the last seven months and thanked Courtney Houssos for her contribution as her acting education portfolio replacement.

“This experience, beating breast cancer, has certainly changed me in so many ways,” Car said.

“What hasn’t changed is my unwavering commitment to deliver for the people of NSW.

“I can’t wait to get back to work for the people of NSW.

Car had previously been diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2022.

After last year’s diagnosis, Car noted her condition had been caught early.

“I’ve fought this before and I’m really confident that I can fight it again,” Car said at the time.

She remained NSW deputy premier in her absence.
